Yes! You will definitely understand the world better with that background knowledgeĭo we see Rose and Dmitri in this series? Absolutely! Should you read Vampire Academy before reading Bloodlines? In conclusion, Bloodlines will have you on the edge of your seat with political intrigue, supernatural serial killers and yes, at times, immature royal teenagers that can easily get their bodyguards killed. Without spoiling the original series, there’s definitely another character that plays a central role in this series that you won’t be able to get enough of here. And we even get glimpses of our favorite original characters. If you liked Vampire Academy, this is a must read continuation. She’s an alchemist, a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve as the bridge between humans and vampires. The Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead is part of the Vampire Academy world and follows the main protagonist Sydney.

It’s action packed, with a beautiful world building, and a good dash of romance. Trust me this is a series you want to read if you haven’t yet.

Set at an academy that, in the same vein as Harry Potter, trains young Dhampirs in the arts of combat to protect the Royal Moroi against the evil Strigoi vampires. A series that delved into the trope of royals before it was a thing (the Moroi). Not to mention, this is also the one series I’ve considered getting corresponding tattoos (molnija marks). And there’s the Dmitri, and the chemistry between him and Rose just make me sigh. If you know how many books we’ve read, then you know that is an incredible feat.

Rose is, to this day, one of our favorite heroines EVER. Solid writing, great plots and the characters. One that we loved reading and would love to be a part of. This is one of our favorite Young Adult series. You like vampire stories with a dash of murder mysteryĭo you really need an introduction for this one? Vampire Academy felt like if Harry Potter and Twilight had a baby.
